Hi ..generally this kind of squint will not be a cosmetic problem ...and BSV is not a problem until and unless you are in that kind of job. We need to check if there is accommodative element ..then glasses need to be given If muscle weakness...exercise can  e tried . Beside that ..care for general health and well being.

Is it 5 or 15? 5 degree can be microesotropia. Small degree squints can be corrected with the help of glasses. Some may even need prismatic correction.
